At least he still outranks Ensign Kim.

It's easier to list whatever harry out ranks, which I think is a stembolt on an upper pylon on Empok Nor.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're working on promoting that Stem Bolt. It recently got an excellent recommendation from Admiral Janeway.

NIGHT CREW!

Don’t forget to use Pledge on the railing!

Cleaning *** out of the Holodeck's *** filters

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would be super dissapointed to learn that they figured out FTL travel and the ability to simply materialise food and all the other amazing technological feats but still hadn't automated cleaning yet. I godamn hate cleaning.

Data is just a future Roomba.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ah so that’s why he wanted to make a kid, offload the chores

Vacuum machines starts whirling really loud ... rumbles ... starts smoking ... shuts down

Tears apart the unit and discovers six Captains com badges in the hose

Yes we're looking at you @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My ready room has a supply closet full of extra badges, because I won't use the ones that have touched the floor.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Worf stepping on another one of the captain's badges.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In this context, Picard looks so pleased like he planned it.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Is this from a blooper? Worf looks like he's holding in a smile.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

At least they're not in charge of cleaning out the holodeck, that place has to be pretty rough

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Especially after Dr. T’Ana and Shax gets through with it.

[–] ooklamok@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Someone wrote log entries for the holodeck technician like 20 years ago... They were quite funny. Can't remember where I saw them.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And his needs are met. He's got a place to live. He's got replicators.

I'd vacuum every damned deck if it gave me a place on a starship where all my needs were met.

[–] DuffmanOfTheCosmos@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

100%. I have a nice cushy work from home desk job right now but I've also worked service jobs and manual labor jobs and I would absolutely jump at the chance for a job as janitorial staff on a starship exploring the galaxy for nothing more than accommodations and the amenities of replicators and holodecks aboard said starship exploring the galaxy. Space shitter clogged? I'm all over it for a chance to just be out there with my needs met.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Couldn't they just clean the ship using the transporters and air filtration

[–] ummthatguy@startrek.website 20 points 2 years ago

Not enough suffering, eh?

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s all the dead skin cells and hair that we shed.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Do a daily transporter sweep for dead organic material all over the ship to purge all those skin cells and hairs and other leftovers of our existing. No more vac

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And then everyone wakes up freshly peeled. It's a win-win!

Just avoid areas with life signs. Person in the room? Delay the transporter sweep for an hour and check again. Or alternatively just don't clear dead skin cells/hair/dust within a 2ft radius of a given life sign, and do maybe 3 sweeps a day.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

And bald. And fingernail-less.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

And then someone forgets to reset the buffer after a difficult transport and then suddenly there's 30 new Tuvixes.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And then it goes into the source matter for the food replicators.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

The circle of life 🥰

[–] ummthatguy@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago

Left someone out.

[–] ralen_jor@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is just like the US Navy. Junior enlisted clean constantly.

[–] tastysnacks@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Swab the deck ye matey

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Don't they have the DOTS robots for this?

[–] blaine@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Thanks for reminding me of yet another reason why Star Trek: Discovery is not canon.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that the Paramount set or is that Star Trek The Experience? A lot of the proportions seem off.

At the very least, the headrests are wrong and the carpet is the wrong color*. Probably the latter.

(* maybe it looks "right" on those novelty VHS recordings you get at the end of the experience?)

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Given that they have the ability to select pretty much whatever material they want with the transporters, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for them to do a once a day transport for all dust/debris particles directly into space, or some containment unit of their choosing. Same goes for pretty much any other cleaning task.

[–] MarmaladeMermaid@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is mentioned in that one episode where they have a small village of “back to the land” type people staying in the cargo bay, along with their farm animals that they don’t have to keep sweeping up all the time, the bays will clean themselves. They just have to stop lighting cooking fires.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That actually makes me think, would it theoretically be possible to automate ship repair with transporter technology? All the time they have ships coming in with giant chunks missing.

If you are able to get a high resolution scan of the current state of the vessel, and have the plans to build it, couldn't they set up a specialized transporter to transport the damaged bits away, and transition area that is destroyed, and then replace it with new parts as needed?

Basically do some a similar repair method from Space Engineers, just fancier with transporters.

[–] talos@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This reminds me of the old web series Space Janitors.

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I had never heard of this show before but it looks hilarious. https://youtu.be/VPhq2sudOi8?si=PXCNxk96-rMSAKnZ
